Belgium Court Jails Islamist Group Members

A Belgium court has sentenced, to prison terms, the leader of a group that sent Jihadists to Syria, in what was described as the biggest trial of its kind in the country.

The court found a total of 45 members of the Sharia4Belgium group guilty of terror-related offences.

The leader of the terrorist organization, Fouad Belkacem, was sentenced to 12 years in prison, while the other 44 members were handed sentences, some suspended, ranging between three to 15 years.

One high-profile member, Jejoen Bontinck, got a suspended sentence of 40 months.
